CELTICS

The following Celtic symbols are commonly used in the practice of magic.

SpiralThespiral is probably the oldest symbol of the human spirituality. One hasbeen being scratched on rocks of thousands for of years, in eachcontinent in the world. The religious meaning can be only conjectured,but it has been in the tombs, and it possibly has a connection with thesun that the sun does a spiral form every three months in its routes. Afound triple spiral adornment in the Celtic tombs draws unicursally(that is to say, in a solid line continuous line of trenches),suggesting a cycle of the Renaissance or the resurrection. (thishypothesis is encouraged by the fact that many of these deliberatelyappear to be placed where take first rays of the sun in the solstice).At modern times, the spiral continues being spiritual significant. Itis the symbol of the alcohol in Wicca, an emblem of the goddess.

Sheela-Na-GigTheSheela-na-gig is a figure that gives a shock, immediately noticablefound in Celtic and medival stonecutting. Sheela imagines more commonlypossible like position squatting, ugly feminine creature using itshands to exhibit grotesque genital organs. Sheelas of several agesadorns obelisks of stone throughout the Irish field; also cathedralsand churches of the stone in Ireland, England are in the staturesconfused in, and through Europe, often in tandem with the green man.Sheela is related very probable the old Celtic goddess; their imagesare much more old that the churches that often appear inside,suggesting they are elements of much more old religious sites. Many areresembled close by the old figures of Viking of a Ormgudinna goddess ofthe creator.

CernunnosCernunnosis deity of horns mysterious adored by the age of Celts iron throughEurope until the end of the first century. Very little one knows onCernunnos except his name and its image, that appears in stone carvingsnumerous and other devices through Europe. It appears crowned withhorns of the male, meditative is often based in a position, and itimagines almost always with wild animal images. Its Celtic name is notknown, although it can be associated to Derg Corra, the "Celtic manearly in the tree." Cernunnos is a meaning well-known Roman the one "ofhorns." They often associate to Herne the hunter, a character of theBritish popular myth, and the "green man" of the European architecture.The Roman invaders associated Cernunnos to mercury of the God. Theyassociate more ahead to "Herne the hunter," of the European legend, andits aspect was adapted possible like the Christian devil. The imagethat appears above is of the "boiler of Gundestrup," a ritual object ofthe use unknown discovered in pieces in a marsh of the crowd in Denmark.

TriquetraTriquetra(often, triqueta) is a symbol of tri-part integrated by three fishinterlocked at the center, marking the intersection of three circles.It is more commonly a possible symbol of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son,and Holy Spirit) used by the ancient Celtic Christian church, sometimesstreamlined then three interlaced fish: The symbol of the "triqueta"predates Christianity and was probable a Celtic symbol of the goddess,and in the north, a symbol of the God Odin. Although one often affirmsthat "triquetra" is a symbol of a tripartite goddess, has not beenidentified to no such goddess with the symbol. The similar symbolshappen in the certain Nordic and Celtic images of the goddess, but theymore likely represent the divisions of the kingdom animal and the threementioned Earth dominions above. Triplicities was symbols common inCeltic myth and the legend, one of the Christian belief of the possiblereasons was adopted so easily by Celtic people.

The triqueta makes Christian a symbol ideal. It is a perfectrepresentation of the concept of "three in one" in Christian belief ofthe trinidad, and incorporates another popular Christian symbol, thefish, in his original form of the Piscis of vejiga. It is sometimesincluding within a circle accentuating the aspect of the unit. In thebelief of Wiccan and Neopagan, the triqueta symbolizes the tripleaspect of the goddess (father, mother, and crone). Some Christians haveprotested this "appropriation" of the symbol, nevertheless ironicenough, the original Christian fish that the symbol was derived from anearly symbol of Venus, feminine generative organs of representation onethat perfectly made the appropriate symbol of triquetra for aRenaissance of the goddess. Triquetra also considers to represent thetriplicities of the mind, the body, and the soul, as well as the threeEarth dominions according to the Earth, the sea, and the Celtic Sky ofthe legend.

Little history of the knots is available before the beginning of theChristian influence on Celts in approximately 450 C.E. There is muchobviously for the use of the geometrical models as ornament inparticular in jewels before which time. Some historians theorized thatthe Celtic religion early prevented their creatures of descriptionnormally. The same designs of pre-Christian succeeded in penetratingthe their manuscripts and the drawing-model Christians early with theaddition of descriptions of the life, such as animals, factories andeven of the human ones. In the beginning the models were the interlacedcords complex, called the braids, which can also be found in otherareas of Europe, like Italy at the sixth century. A fragment of a bookof Gospel, maintaining in the library of cathedral of Durham andcreated in Scandinavian Great Britain at the seventh century, earliestcontains the example of the true designs tied in the Celtic way. Theexamples of the plaitwork antedate designs of knotwork in severalcultures around the world, but the broken and replugged plaitwork whichis characteristic of the true knotwork started in Scandinavian Italyand Gallic Southerner and diffusion in Ireland with the seventhcentury. The model is most generally associated the Celtic grounds butit was also practised intensively in England and was exported in Europeby monastic activities of Irishman and Northumbrian on the continent.In modern times Celtic art is popularly considered in terms of thenational identity and thus specifically Irish, Scottish, or the Welsh.

The prickly purple thistle was adopted as the Emblem of Scotland during the rein of Alexander III (1249 -1286). Legend has it that an Army of King Haakon of Norway, intent on conquering the Scots landed at the Coast of Largs, at night to surprise the sleeping Scottish Clansmen. In order to move more stealthily under the cover of darkness the Norsemen removed their footwear. As they drew near to the Scots it wasn't the only thing hiding under the cover of darkness. For one of Haakon's men unfortunately stood on one of these spiny little defenders and shrieked out in pain, alerting the Clansmen of the advancing Norsemen. Needless to say the Scots who won the day. The first use of the Thistle as a royal symbol of Scotland was on silver coins issued by James III in 1470
